Good Accommodation
Checking in was easy. We had a balcony with a view over the water which was good. Room was clean. Communal kitchen with cooking pans etc. Pool looked clean but weather was too cold for us to use.

The motel is quite basic and rather dated and a long way from eateries and the CBD though a supermarket is 5 mins away on foot. No breakfast but rooms had microwaves and 'fridges. Comfortable and clean.

Walls paper thin - people in next room were up all night and kept me up all night. No sleep at all. Shower is a drip - no water pressure. No milk provided for coffee. Worst accommodation experience for a long time.

Room very old and smelt. Slept on a slat bed (usually motels have ensembles) mattress not too bad. Kitchenette and bathroom still in the 70’s. It looks like the owners DIY so they don’t spend any $$$ to modernize and bring it into nowadays. Showerscreen door hard to open and nearly came off the hinges
